{"product_id":"p3101","title":"Mishima Cup","description":"This is an e-kohiki sake cup by Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with a superior aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his handling of clay, firing, and craftsmanship. This piece was created as a study following years of research into the wabi-sabi aesthetic of a Mishima cup that Morimoto encountered in the past. It features fewer of the signature stamped patterns typical of Mishima, placing greater emphasis on the weathered, decaying charm of the white slip and glaze. The exquisite crazing further enhances this sense of wabi, and as it is used over time, it will develop a subtle, ineffable patina. The subtle difference in luster between the interior and exterior—with the exterior featuring a remarkably matte glaze—is a testament to the meticulous detail characteristic of Morimoto’s work.\n\nSigned wooden box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.5cm x Diameter 8.5cm x Height 3.4cm\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.
